Bread is made of other grains too.
Bread
can be made from other grains
now.
It happened to be what was on the table.
Yes, that’s what was commonly know as bread - made from wheat. The most common form of bread that one buys in the supermarket is made from wheat flour, even if other varieties are available to purchase.
From the article I linked in my earlier post
" Defining bread
The reason has to do with the definition of bread. Communion is a rite that traces back to the early Catholic Church. In St. Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians (in the Bible’s New Testament), which was written around A.D. 53 or 54, Paul lays out the ritual and its roots in
the Last Supper, Jesus Christ’s final meal before the Crucifixion:"
“For I have received from the Lord that which also I delivered unto you: that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took break,” reads the King James translation of the passage, “and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me.”
Under Catholic doctrine, consecrated bread and wine transubstantiate, or become the literal body and blood of Christ. Thus, the purity of the bread and wine are important, said Rev. Andrew Menke, the executive director of the Secretariat of Divine Worship for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
“Jesus just used wine, and Jesus just used bread, and the basic definition of bread is wheat flour and water,” Menke told Live Science, referring to the
unleavened bread that Jesus and his disciplines would have eaten."
n 2004, that Congregation put out a report called the
Redemptionis Sacramentum that explained the requirements for the bread:
“The bread used in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be unleavened, purely of wheat, and recently made so that there is no danger of decomposition. It follows therefore that bread made from another substance, even if it is grain, or if it is mixed with another substance different from wheat to such an extent that it would not commonly be considered wheat bread, does not constitute valid matter for confecting the Sacrifice and the Eucharistic Sacrament.”
